Question: I should be purchasing one of the remaining Super GT cars...correct? I'm assuming that they're for sale at the 'Used Car' dealer...

Well most people join before the first race... so we could just have a 15-20min window for people to join. There's nothing wrong with practicing while we're waiting for other players before the the 1st race starts.

Remember you "shouldn't" have to reconnect between races, so it should go quickly and smooth once everyone has joined the Lounge.

Yeah, that's true. We'd all have to sit idle in Jason's Lounge until it was time to start the 1st race. Maybe we could have an initial practice session while we're waiting for everyone to sign in, then just go from race-to-race after that. *shrug*

I got mine from the "new" dealer. I think that's where most of them are, if not all.

No they are only for sale in the New Car Dealerships for $950,000cr
If you can't afford one of the cars, let us know. Some of the "richer" players have offered to loan cars to those who can't afford them.

However, be advised you may receive a message like this:
”Jay, Varga is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?” :lol:


EDIT:
At this point only the Lexus cars are left:
LEXUS DENSO DUNLOP SARD SC430 '08
LEXUS PETRONAS TOM'S SC430 '08*
LEXUS BANDAI DIREZZA SC430 '06
LEXUS ENEOS SC430 '08

*The TOM's Lexus won the 2008 GT500 Championship

Thanks Varga...thanks Jason. I'll return it to you when we are done the series.

Question: can you save a particular car setup for a particular track? For example, I've been changing the M3's setup each time I visit a different track. It would be nice if I could tune and save a favourite setup for each track. Maybe I'm missing where this can be done...

Cheers,

No you have to keep changing it.
The only thing I really change from track to track is the transmission setting.

-Top Gear Test Track (5 Laps)
-Laguna Seca (5 Laps)
-Sarthe (3 Laps)
-Nürburgring Nordschleife (2 Laps)


I said 7, but honestly I'm good with 8pm.
Especially since by that time I will have been awake for +36hrs... should be fun.

Also for those in need of money (cr), there are 12 new Seasonal Events.

You need to have achieved GOLD in the Top Gear Test Track Easy Level under Special Events to unlock the Top Gear Test Track in Arcade / Practice / Lounge.

Final ARMS PS3 GT5 Spec M3 Championship Results

With 11 cars on the gird, last night was our largest race yet! There were a lot of close battles!

Congratulations to Paul for taking the Spec M3 Championship with well over a 100 point lead!

Harrod held onto 5th place, but McIntyre drove well last night and managed to close the gap to only 6 points.

John & Jay B. both managed to jump two positions last night from 11th to 9th and 12th to 10th respectively.
